El amor a las flores
Ensayo sobre las flores en la historia universal que el escritor veracruzano Rafael Delgado leyó a integrantes de la Sociedad Sánchez Oropesa, Orizaba, México, en septiembre de 1888 y publicado en el Boletín de la sociedad el año siguiente. Con una introducción de Elissa Rashkin y Julián Osorno
Archivo, Memoria y Resignificación
Este artículo explora las posibilidades analíticas del estudio del cine mexicano desde la desaparición y/o fragmentación de los archivos primordiales, para llegar posteriormente al ejercicio experimental de la reconstrucción. Nos avalamos del creciente corpus de historias trabajadas sobre y desde los márgenes de la cultura y la comunicación, donde los huecos y silencios hablan tanto como los hechos verificables. Partimos de la pérdida de la mayor…
Sobre John Lear, Imaginar el proletariado. Artistas y trabajadores en el México revolucionario, 1908-1940
Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis
Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis tells the story of a fundamental fight between a caring and an uncaring imagination. It helps us to recognise the uncaring imagination in politics, in culture – for example in the writings of Ayn Rand – and also in ourselves.
La ruta integral
A principios de 1930, surgió en Xalapa, Veracruz, un movimiento cultural en torno al grupo Noviembre, con el fin de producir “literatura proletaria”. Protagonizado por Lorenzo Turrent Rozas, José Mancisidor, Julio de la Fuente y Germán List Arzubide, entre otros, el movimiento se desprendió en parte del Estridentismo, vanguardia cultural activa en los años 20, y a la vez constituyó una crítica de éste desde una postura más cercana al realismo soc…
Writing Cure
A hybrid work of psychoanalytic autotheory that tells a story about the end of an analysis and the end of a marriage
Mujeres zapatistas y producción videográfica en Chiapas
Los primeros años de la rebelión zapatista coincidieron con la emergencia en México de un sector videográfico independiente, posibilitado por las nuevas tecnologías de grabación y edición, e inspirado en la lucha chiapaneca con sus redes de comunicación y solidaridad nacional e internacional. Antecediendo la era del Web 2.0 y las actuales redes sociales digitales, la producción videográfica sobre y desde el zapatismo fue una herramienta important…

Feminine look
Psychic murder and the asylum of psychosis
Introduction to Special Section
Reading the Mind, Reading the Text
This essay considers whether the developmental concept of “reflective functioning”—which emerged from attachment research—is relevant for the study of literature and especially for examining narratives concerned with trauma. Since the ability to construct narrative and show an awareness of one’s own and others’ intrapsychic worlds is key to reflective functioning, can we legitimately think of fictional characters who reflect on their own inner st…
Data Learns to Dance
This essay explores how the episode "Data's Day" from the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation functions allegorically as a drama of human psychic development and also a commentary on psychoanalytic treatment and the anxiety it can evoke. Drawing on the work of Winnicott and concepts such as "holding," "primary maternal preoccupation," and the "false self," among others, the author argues that the android Data's efforts to learn diffe…

Sex, Sadism, Encrypted Loss and Encrypted History in Last Tango in Paris
Unmourned Dead, Filtered History, and the Screening of Anti-Semitism in Kieślowski's A Short Film About Killing
A searing indictment of the death penalty, Krzysztof Kieślowski's A Short Film About Killing derives its power in large part from its stark juxtaposition of Jacek Lazar's brutal murder of a taxi driver with the Polish State's execution of Jacek for his crime—an act critics have consistently described as unmotivated and inexplicable. This essay explores how the film invites us to view it psychoanalytically, cinematographically, and historically as…

Unspeakable secrets and the psychoanalysis of culture
Esther Rashkin argues that psychoanalysis galvanizes, as no other discipline can, an understanding of texts in their social, historical, and political contexts. Demonstrating that close reading can be a radical political practice, she exposes heretofore unseen ideologies concealed in works of film and literature, from Last Tango in Paris to The Picture of Dorian Gray, from Barthes's Mythologies and Balzac's Sarrasine to Babette's Feast. Psychoana…

Family Secrets and the Psychoanalysis of Narrative
Family Secrets and the Psychoanalysis of Narrative is the first book to explore the implications of the psychoanalytic theory of the phantom for the study of narrative literature. A phantom is formed when a shameful, unspeakable secret is unwittingly transmitted, through cryptic language and behavior, transgenerationally from one family member to another. The "haunted" individual to whom the "encrypted" secret is communicated becomes the unwittin…
